Republicans ignore the lessons of World War II

Dec. 7, 2015: A date which will live in immaturity.

President Obama addressed the nation Sunday night from the Oval Office, a rare use of the sacred symbols of the presidency to reassure Americans about their security while steeling them for a long and complex struggle against the Islamic State.

Donald Trump answered Obama’s call for tolerance by declaring that no Muslims should be permitted to enter the United States: “We need a new president — FAST!”
